KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- National alpine skier Aruwin Salehhuddin endured a challenging outing as she failed to finish both runs in the women’s giant slalom at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy, today.
The competition at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre saw Italy’s Federica Brignone shine, topping the first run and finishing 14th in the second to claim gold with a combined time of 2 minutes 13.50 seconds (s), according to the official Games website https://www.olympics.com.
The silver medal was shared in a thrilling dead heat between Sweden’s Sara Hector and Norway’s Thea Louise Stjernesund after each clocking 2:14.12s.
Aruwin, who made her Winter Olympics debut at Beijing 2022, finished 38th in the women’s giant slalom but did not complete the slalom event.
The 21-year-old, who is the first Malaysian female athlete to compete at the Winter Olympics and the only Malaysian participant in Milano Cortina, is set to feature in the slalom event on Feb 18.
